Claims that Venezuelans in Florida will be denied right to vote

Pedro Mena, a member of the opposition group Unified Democratic Panel (MUD) in Miami, reported that the Foreign Ministry is allegedly carrying out political maneuvers to prevent the participation of 23,000 Venezuelans living in Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina and Georgia in the presidential election to be held on October 7.

For Pedro Mena, this runs counter to the law. The Venezuelan consulate in Miami was shut down earlier this year. Mena said that failure to conduct the presidential vote based on the lack of "Venezuelan territoriality" would seriously hit the image and institutional ethics of the Venezuelan Electoral Power.
